About

Who We Are

Cornerstone is a Southern Baptist Church in the Reformed tradition

We are an elder-led church focused on spreading the Gospel through Word-centered preaching, worship music that is contemporary in style, but traditional in substance, authentic fellowship, and discipleship for all ages and stages of the Christian life. We invite you to join us as we worship Christ each week through song and the preaching of the Word.

What You Can Expect

You can expect to hear quality music in a contemporary style that is focused on Christ-exalting lyrics, both from modern-day Christian musicians and from classic hymns of the faith. Corporate worship at Cornerstone includes prayer, Scripture reading and a Bible-centered message from our pastor, Dr. Brian Walls. Babies and children ages 4-8 will learn about Christ’s love for them in safe and loving classrooms available for children’s church.

Translation from English to Spanish is available during worship service
